*Summary: 7th year fic. Mostly Contains H/H, but also has R/L, D/G, and
SF/JB*

*Harry forgets his and Hermione’s anniversary so he wants to do something special for her to
make it up but he doesn’t know what so he turns to the guys for help. And when he does do
something, what is Hermione’s reaction? Rated G.*

“HAROLD JAMES POTTER!!!!!” came the shrills of 18 year-old Hermione Granger, student and head
girl of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

“GET YOUR LAZY DUFF OUT HERE. NOW!” she yelled again

“What? What did I do?” asked Harry Potter as he came out from his private Head Boy bedroom and
looked at his girlfriend.

“Do you have any idea what day it is?” asked Hermione as she repeatedly tapped her foot.

“Uh, the twenty-fourth of June?” asked Harry.

“Precisely. And do you remember the certain event that took place on this day?” replied
Hermione. Harry thought about it for a minute and the look on his face was that of complete and
utter horror. He mentally smacked himself.

“Our anniversary,” he groaned and he hugged her. “Oh baby, I’m so sorry. I completely forgot.”
He looked at her as her eyes were brimming with tears. “Look, I gotta go find Ron, I’ll see you
later?“ She nodded.

“I promise I will make it up to you baby,” said Harry as he kissed her gently and he set off to
find Ron.

“Somehow, I don’t believe that,” said Hermione quietly as he walked out of sight. “You’ve never
forgotten our anniversary before Harry, why did you now?”

* * *

“Ron! Seamus! You guys have got to help me!” said Harry.

“What’s up Harry?” asked Seamus Finnegan.

“I forgot-I forgot…” panted Harry and he tried to catch his breath.

“You forgot your guys’ anniversary, didn’t you Harry?” said Ron and he fell to the floor and
started laughing.

“Ron, I’m serious, what am I going to do?” asked Harry. “I need to come up with something before
she finds out that I don’t have anything. She already knows I forgot!”

“How about if you sing to her at the talent show at the 7th year’s farewell party
tonight?” said Seamus. “McGonagall still needs some Gryffindors for it.”

“But, what would I sing? I mean, I’ve never really sang in public before,” said Harry.

“Mind if I cut in?” asked a voice. It was Jessica Black, Seamus’ girlfriend and Harry’s
“sister.” When Sirius was cleared, he adopted Harry as his “son“. That’s when everyone learned that
Sirius and his wife Arabella Figg-Black had a 17 year-old daughter. Seamus kissed his girlfriend on
the lips.

“Sure Jess,” said Harry. “What have you got?” Jessica whispered something in his ear.

“I like that idea!” said Harry. “Seamus, tell McGonagall that I’ll perform tonight, but have her
keep it a secret.”

“Will do,” said Seamus. “Come on Jess, we’re going to be late for Astronomy!” He waggled his
eyebrows and Jessica playfully smacked him.

“I swear Seamus,” said Jessica as they left, “you have WAAY too much free time.”

* * *

“Thank you Jessica, for that lovely version of May It Be,” said Prof. Dumbledore as Jessica left
the stage, joining Seamus. He kissed her. “And now, we have one last entry in tonight’s talent
show. Please welcome, Mr. Harry Potter.”

Whispers from the 7th years and their dates ran through the Great Hall as Harry stood
up and walked up to the front. He turned to everyone and spoke.

“Today is one of the most important days of my life. Three years ago, I fell in love with
someone very special. Someone who I was able to turn to when I needed her, someone who I’ve know
since I was a first year. Today is our anniversary, and I promised her that I would make it up to
after forgetting that it was our anniversary. So Hermione, would you come up here?”

Hermione looked at Jess, who mouthed, “Go on,” and motioned for her to go up there. Hermione
stood up and made her way to the front by Harry, who suddenly pulled out a dozen roses from behind
his back. Hermione gasped and took the roses from him. Then she hugged him and kissed him on the
cheek.

“Mione, I love you more than anything in the world, and to show you how much, this song’s for
you.”

Music started playing and Jessica grinned as her favorite American Muggle song was sung by
Harry.

*“I never had no one I could count on*

*I've been let down so many times*

*I was tired of hurtin' So tired of searchin'*

*'Til you walked into my life*

*It was a feelin' I'd never known*

*And for the first time I didn't feel alone.”*

As Harry sang, Hermione tried not to cry and she grinned at him. He took her in her arms and he
danced and swayed with her while he sang

*“You're more than a lover*

*There could never be another*

*To make me feel the way you do*

*Oh we just get closer I fall in love all over*

*Everytime I look at you*

*I don't know where I'd be*

*Without you here with me*

*Life with you makes perfect sense*

*You're my best friend*

*You're my best friend, oh yeah”*

Ron looked at his girlfriend Lavender, grinning as she sang along. He gently nuzzled her neck,
placing kisses all over it.

“I love you,” said Ron as he nuzzled her neck.

“I love you too, Ron.”

*“You stand by me*

*And you believe in me*

*Like nobody ever has*

*When my world goes crazy*

*You're right there to save me*

*You make me see how much I have*

*And I still tremble*

*When we touch*

*And oh the look in your eyes*

*When we make love”*

Jessica looked up and smiled at Seamus as he wrapped his arms around her. They kissed and Jess
grinned.

“You’re my best friend,” said Jess.

“You’re mine too.”

*“You're more than a lover*

*There could never be another*

*To make me feel the way you do*

*Oh we just get closer*

*fall in love all over*

*Everytime I look at you*

*And I don't know where I'd be*

*Without you here with me*

*Life with you makes perfect sense*

*You're my best friend*

*You're my best friend.”*

Ginny looked at her brother necking Lavender, then looked at Jess and Seamus, then shifting her
eyes to Harry and Hermione as the two were lost in each other, Hermione now singing along with
Harry. Obviously she knew the song too. A pair of strong arms found themselves around Ginny’s waist
and she looked up at Draco Malfoy, her boyfriend.

“Yes?” whispered Ginny.

“I’m starting to miss my best friend,” said Draco. Ginny grinned.

“Am I your best friend?” she whispered back.

“Well, you were my first real friend,” whispered Draco as he took a hold of Ginny’s hands. “You
taught me how to love.” And with that he kissed her on the lips.

*“You're more than a lover*

*There could never be another*

*To make me feel the way you do*

*Oh we just get closer I fall in love all over*

*Everytime I look at you*

*And I don't know where I'd be*

*Without you here with me*

*Life with you makes perfect sense*

*You're my best friend*

*You're my best friend (my best friend)”*

As Harry and Hermione finished, they kissed and the crowd went wild.

“I love you,” said Hermione.

“I love you too,” said Harry. “Happy Anniversary.” And he kissed her again.

* * *

“This has been the best night of my life, Harry,” said Hermione as she and Harry took a walk
around the lake, one of the many things they had done together since fourth year.

“Mine too, Mione,” murmured Harry as he nuzzled her neck. Hermione giggled and she leaned up and
kissed him. “Marry me Mione,” said Harry as they pulled away. “Be my wife forever.”

“Yes,” said Hermione, “I’m always yours forever.” They kissed again and Hermione shrieked as
Harry swung her around.

“You’re my best friend, Mrs. Potter,” said Harry as he caught her in a passionate kiss.

“And I’m yours, Mr. Potter.” And they kissed again.

A face peered out from a window high in Gryffindor Tower. Jessica grinned as her best friends
were laughing and being crazy lovebirds.

“Seamus, Ron, Lav, come look at them,” said Jessica. “They’re so cute.”

The four friends all looked out the window as the future Mr. and Mrs. Potter chased each other
around the lake, giggling and kissing and splashing each other with water from the edge of the
lake.

“I wonder when the wedding is?” asked Ron. Lavender playfully smacked Ron and the four friends
laughed as their Best friends continued their anniversary night.
